This is a really old bug that appeared in Axis 1.2 but did not exist in Axis
1.1.The same bug still exists in Axis 1.3 and Axis 1.4.The same problem has
been mentioned
before:http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-axis-dev/200602.mbox/[EMAIL
PROTECTED] URL gives a good description of the problem.I'll try to summarize
this brieflyIf you have a WSDL (rpc/enc) that has a primitive array like
int[], double[], boolean[] that appears in your WSDL like this: <complexType
name="ArrayOf_xsd_double"> <complexContent> <restriction
base="soapenc:Array"> <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType"
wsdl:arrayType="xsd:double[]"/> </restriction> </complexContent>
</complexType> <complexType name="MyClass"> <sequence> <element
name="name" type="xsd:string" nillable="true"/> <element name="values"
type="impl:ArrayOf_xsd_double" nillable="true"/> </sequence>
</complexType>When you generate the source files using wsdl2java, the primitive
array is incorrectly converted into it's primitive type.So int[] gets converted
to int, and double[] gets converted to double.This will obviously not generate
correct code for the client - it won't work !!!!!Producing incorrect and
inoperable code for a client in my mind is a SHOWSTOPPER !!Not sure what your
definition of a showstopper is but it doesn't get worse than that.I fixed it in
the class org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.JavaBeanHelperWriter (Axis 1.4 source) by
commenting out a line.The code block begins at line 329:
// Some special handling for arrays. TypeEntry
elemType = elem.getType(); QName xmlType = null;
if ((elemType.getDimensions().length() > 1)
&& (elemType.getClass() == DefinedType.class)) { // If
we have a DefinedType with dimensions, it must // be a
SOAP array derived type. In this case, use // the
refType's QName for the metadata.
// THIS LINE BELOW CAUSES UNDESIRED BEHAVIOR. IT'S A
BUG !!!!! // elemType =
elemType.getRefType(); Even though this fix works in
my case, I don't know what side effects it will have.The original author(s) had
a reason to write it this way even though it created a bug.Please look into it
and fix it one and for all.This is not a minor bug !!!!!!!!!!
